Our 18-Month-Old

Jonah had his 18-month check-up today.  His height is in the 90 percentile, which explains why he's taller than all of his classmates.  We've always thought Elliott would be tall like his dad, but he's currently in the 50 percentile.  At this rate, the little brother will end up being the bigger brother.

Jonah in charge.

Unfortunately, bigger toddlers and preschoolers are often mistaken to be much older.  And then when they act their age, people think they're slow.  It'll be even more confusing with Jonah.  We learned today that he has a two-year-old's vocabulary.  His enunciation, however, is still that of an 18 month old.  So most people don't catch what Jonah's saying, or they simply can't believe it.

But even when we don't understand Jonah, we're not seeing the fits of frustration we did with Elliott.  So far, Jonah is much more easy going.  It may not last, but we'll appreciate it as long as it does.
